HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
The holidays are all about love, laughter, and making memories that last long after the decorations come down. This year’s Holiday Portrait Sessions are designed to capture that joy.
With beautifully styled sets and a relaxed atmosphere, you’ll walk away with high-quality images that feel genuine and festive. From quick moments to full storytelling sessions, there’s a package for every client and every holiday vision!
This year there are multiple ways to book.
Mini Sessions: 15-25 minute sessions split into 3 packages: Merry Moments, Holiday Magic & Lasting Memories (details on each of these packages can be found below)
Full Portrait Sessions: a 30-minute ($170 plus tax) or 1-hour ($330 plus tax) session booked as a portrait session through the following link: here
Only select this option if you’re interested in a theme that differs from the holiday backdrop options. Please reach out before booking to confirm that your desired theme can be accommodated.

Need To Know Information
Studio’s Location:
2155 Northpark Lane Suite, 104 Charleston, SC. When you arrive, please use the front door entrance. This is the glass mirrored entrance that you see when you first approach the building.
Grace Period:
Due to the short and consecutive nature of the holiday sessions, there is not a grace period for lateness. Photographer will accommodate lateness only if time permits. Communication is key! Please communicate if you are running behind.
Wardrobe:
You are required to arrive to your photoshoot dressed in photoshoot wardrobe. There will not be time allowed for you or other participants to change clothes.
Studio Size & Guests:
In previous years, we had ample space to make holiday magic, but this year Start With A Plan is blessed to have a new home. While it’s small, it allows for beautiful memories to be captured! Unfortunately, this small space limits the amount of people that can participate in and attend sessions.
Please do not bring guests who are not participating in your photoshoot.
Unedited Photos:
Your photoshoot does not include un-watermarked, unedited photos. This year, your full gallery of unedited photos can be purchased for $300. The unedited photos can only be purchased in bulk, at one set price.
Your session fee includes, your session time, posing guidance, use of studio space, props and the editing required for the number of retouched/edited photos included in your package.
Additional retouched photos can be purchased for $21.20 each.
Turnaround Time:
After your session, you will receive a digital gallery of your unedited photos with instructions on how to choose the photos that you would like to have edited/retouched. After you choose your photos, you will receive the edited/retouched versions within 5 to 7 business days.
